Cold Earth Wanderers
Description:
Cold Earth Wanderers by Peter Wortsman is a science fiction novel set in a completely built up world where vertical values are prized while all horizontal tendencies are suspect. 16 year old Elgin Marble has had enough of a world that is decidedly vertical. When his father, an upstanding elevator man, is marked for disposal, Elgin joins an underground group called the Crabs. This illicit group tirelessly digs tunnels in the hope of one day breaking through to the outside. But who are the Crabs, and can they be trusted? Elgin's mother, Ellen, is worried sick about her son. The ruthless school principal, Mr. Orion, warns her that Elgin is in big trouble and blackmails her for sexual favors. Together they go underground to search for the boy. Meanwhile, agents of the IVT (Institute for Vertical Thinking) are also hot on his trail, and the Crabs are feeling the heat.
"In Cold Earth Wanderers Peter Wortsman has given us as daft and delirious a dystopia as might be imagined. Comparisons with Edwin A. Abbott's endlessly ingenious Flatland are both inevitable and entirely warranted."
James Morrow
"A darkly comic folktale for a dysfunctional future, or a nightmare fable for disobedient children ..."
